Sure, make it a huge contributing factor in promotion, moving to project management, etc.

But not a pre-req for day one, earning a salary.

Hell, let's make some Continuing Education demands on STEM.

Again, I strongly disagree. Make it a requirement before writing a single line of code. The impact this industry has on the world is such that ethics training is a must.

Anyone should be able to write code.

Accepting a pull request (code reviews) should require training.

Launching code requires even more training.
